Instrument Control Software KickStart Instrument Control Software lets you start taking measurements in minutes without complex instrument programming. Kickstart enables you to perform I-V characterization, data acquisition and logging, and power supply control on a variety of Keithley products. The software interfaces to the instrumentation through any of the standard interfaces: LAN, USB, and GPIB. Data can be displayed in graphical, chart, or both formats. All data can be stored and exported for further analysis in a software environment such as Microsoft Excel®. Graphs can also be exported for installation in technical papers.

Easy I-V Characterization Using Keithley Interactive SourceMeter® Instruments Combine KickStart’s I-V characterizer application with Keithley’s Model 2450 Interactive SourceMeter Source Measure Unit (SMU) instrument to perform current vs. voltage (I-V) testing quickly and easily on a variety of materials, two-terminal and multi-terminal semiconductor devices, solar cells, embedded systems, etc.

Three Steps to Get Running
The I-V characterizer application can control up to four interactive SourceMeter SMU instruments linked together. You can configure each SMU instrument for a variety of bias and sweep sourcing operations, including linear, log, list, and dual sweeps and DC bias levels. Whether the application involves sourcing voltage or current, the I-V characterizer gives you the freedom to measure voltage, current, and even resistance— all at the same time. Time-stamping support allows plotting I-V curves as a function of time.

Controlling Series 2280S Precision Measurement Power Supplies KickStart’s precision DC power application simplifies supplying power to a device or system. You can control the operation of a Series 2280S Precision Measurement Power Supply from your PC keypad to access the extensive features these instruments offer. For example, you can quickly setup automated tests to monitor power consumption over a device’s operating states or monitor the stability of a DUT’s load current. Use the List Sweep function to test a device’s performance automatically over its operating range and monitor device response to voltage transitions.
Configure your power supply output, measurement, and protection parameters. Setup a list sweep of voltage values and a control mode to apply a series of voltages to a DUT.
Plot output voltage, load current, or both, and display data in a tabular format. Use the docking tab feature to customize your display window.
